You should be okay, Bill. Note that the GFI does *not* require a working ground! It only monitors the current flowing in the two sides of the mains line and, if there's a discrepancy, opens the circuit on the assumption that the "lost" current might be flowing through you to ground.
I'm not sure what test equipment you're using, but for just a few dollars you can pick up an outlet tester that is invaluable. It will tell you if the ground is working and whether the hot and neutral lines are properly connected as well. It's small and lightweight - just plugs into the outlet with three lights that report the status of the outlet. Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- I am building my K2 s/n 6301 in my Travel Trailer. I have plugged my esd wrist strap and pad into the ground port of a GFCI outlet. I think this is my only true ground, assuming that the Camp Ground post is properly grounded. All of my test quipment say the post is wired properly as well as the outlet. Any one know, if I am correct?
